Love this little spot. Tried it on a Friday night. Most times I have been there is for lunch. Nice parking in the back. Don't forget to lock your doors. Haha Restaurant has made-be 10 tables. Nice atmosphere, nothing fancy. But great food. I always get the pupusas, they come with yummy pickled cabbage and a tomato sauce. The burrito is large so we just got 4 pupusas and the combo platter to split. Comes with steak taco, chicken fajita, and tostito yummy crispy and tasty. Service was not amazing but we are here for the foodAnd will always go back. Best place in town for el salvadorian food. Hope it there for another 20years. read more

Centrally located with consistently good food. There is ample free parking out back. The ceviche is juicy and tangy...The tortilla chips are crispy... I go here for many of the foods but I would also go just for the pupusas! Tables and chairs are comfortable and south facing wall is windows so lots of natural light and view of the street. read more

So I love this no frills place. I have been going here for 27 years and the food is always consistantly good. The restaurant is in somewhat a sketchy location, however they do have a small parking lot. Restaurant inside is bright and cheerful. Really fun. The only thing I don't like is the female bathroom situation. it is freezing inside and it is a lone stall with a door that I haven't managed to lock in the last 15 years. This should be fixed Menu has a lot to try, but I always stick to the same thing. Combination Plate - if you want to try a little of everything go for the combination plate perfect for sharing or turn into a meal comes with one taco, one pastel, one tostada and one rolled chicken fajita. Everything is good but I love the pastels. I am not sure where else to get them. They are super crispy and delicious with the slaw on top. We also had the tilapia ceviche. It was fresh and flavourful. Service was okay. They did their job but in all the time I have eaten here I can't say that I have had friendly service. Definately worth checking out. read more

Parking available right beside the restaurant ( for customers only). single-person gender nuetral bathroom. Friend got the Horchata and liked it. They did say it was dairy free. We each got 1 pupusa and loved it. Served smoking hot. Great texture and flavor 11/10. We both Loved loved the curtido (cabbage slaw) on the side. Added a great spicy/salty/sour texture. HIGHLY recommend a couple of these. Friend got the Tacos $16, was able to try 3 different ones. Didn't like the grilled stead one. Only filling was meat and onion and Cilantro. I got the Pescado Frito - guess I missed the "tilapia whole" note as it was an entire FISH! I can see some people not liking this as it looked very much like a fish And I had to pull it apart and worry about bones. Was easier than I thought to get meat with no bones but for those who fear fish bones this is not a good one for you. 9.5/10 great experience, fish was cooked perfectly, but needed more tortillas to go with it! If given more tortillas if would have been a great dish to share with someone. Tried the "cheesecake bread" dessert they had pre-wrapped at the till. 6/10. Was interesteding but very dry and not as flavorful as I would have liked. Overall very surprised with ow much I liked the food. Would love to come back! read more

This would be. 3.5. The service is average, friendly but wasnt super attentive. The actual place is nice inside, not fancy but homey, could use some new chairs. The pricing is actually really good! We tried 2 different red wines, they were also great. The food is fantastic. My platter had a mix and I loved it. We tried a lot of different options as we were a big group and it was all great! read more

Came here with the fam jam last week after a day of errands. We've been coming here, specifically for mixed papusas, for 15 years now. I have to say either our taste buds have changed or the papusas are different. They somehow don't excite us as much here anymore. There are a few other changes - the pickled cabbage slaw that comes with the papusas now comes in a small jar (despite our order of 6) and extra is an additional charge. The kiddos liked the nachos and tacos best. We still love El Salvadorian but somehow the other options in town are now calling my name louder. read more

First time dining at this restaurant. And it was really good! I've had many Papusas and I got to say , these ones here are pretty amazing! Freshly made!! And the Sopa de Pata was to die for! I will definitely be coming back here! read more

AUTHENTIC!!! I have been coming here for YEARS with my very good friend. We always get the pupusas revueltas (mix pupusas). This time we went, the prices had gone up, $4 per pupusa (mixed ones). However I still feel they are a good deal for the price. We always ask for the avocado sauce as well to add on. And the Horchata is a bit sweet but delicious! They were cleaning constantly while we were there which is very comforting as they have a lot of pick up orders. The service is friendly and they make everything fresh so it may take a bit longer than most places. read more

My all time favorite dish to order here are the pupusas!! I love the cheese pupusas. You can also order pupusas with a combination of cheese, bean and pork inside. The interesting part is that it doesn't cost extra to have all three ingredients. The tortilla soup is so yummy!! The chicken broth is warm and comforting. The soup is served with shredded corn tortilla chips on top. I like the extra bit of crunch mixed with the pieces of chicken, avocado and feta cheese. Sooo good! Definitely come here for authentic Mexican and Salvadoran food! The food is great and the prices are reasonable. Usually the service is pretty quick here. They can get busy during peak hours, but the food is worth the wait! read more

I am surprised I don't go more often! So much to say about this hidden gem! I went to Acajutla on a Friday and Sunday of the same week. Lots of plentiful parking. Both days they were busy but not in an overwhelming way. The environment reminds me of Central America for sure. Fascinating and authentic decorations and art. The service was good. A few more rounds from the waitress would have been great, but it was okay. Now, let's chat about the food... the pupusas are a must. You pay for a nice big pupusa with lots of goodness inside. They are the best in Edmonton, hands down. Even my picky 6-year-old will eat two! The Sopa de Pata is fantastic. Again, best in town. The horchata is also excellent, along with the tamarind juice. If you want to experience unique and delicious food, this place is for you! I cannot wait to come back and get the same things. I am unsure about anything else on the menu because these few items are gold. Also, the platano frito dessert is the perfect end. Highly recommend! read more

I went on the weekend and the food was amazing , the prices are so reasonable for what they give you and the horchata was the best part. Our server spoke Spanish to us and knew what was on all the dishes. The pupusas are amazing and a good size for $5 each, the tamales were made mexican style which i love. Los huevos rancheros were the best part the fajitas were my moms favourite , they were also so filling. read more

Acajutla - fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

This place is family run, provides great service, is clean, and the price is right! I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally eat here! Best experience at an authentic Latin American restaurant so far in Edmonton!!! Get the pupusas!!! You can get any mix of pork, bean, and/or cheese. My personal favorites are pork&cheese and pork&cheese&beans but just cheese is a classic. I love that you get a whole jar of the cabbage slaw and a squeeze bottle of the red vinegar sauce. They'd give you more if you want too. I like it with their hot sauce. This hot sauce has some serious heat to it so use it sparingly unless you like the burn! It goes well with the cheese pupusa cuz the dairy offsets the heat. I also really like the tamales. The chicken is probably the most popular but there's a corn one that is sweet enough to be a dessert. Worth trying for sure. I'm a really big fan of Acajutla. The family that owns and manages the restaurant is friendly, accomodating, and makes authentic Latin cuisine. The service is timely and professional while warm and inviting. Acajutla is my new standard in Edmonton... Long may their reign! read more

Great food! I have been a customer for the las 20+ years. Every single day I have received great customer service and food what can I say. When you walk in it feels homey family-run. I cannot say enough about this restaurant. If you haven't try some Mexican-Salvadorean food, I totally recommend you to try it! You are going to love it and perhaps become a loyal as well. read more

Some of Edmonton's tastiest bites hail from random tiny, divey, ethnic abodes scattered all around (and outside of ) the inner city. Acajutla is a homey family-run restaurant offering delicious Latin cuisine. The tortilla chicken soup was delicious and comforting as if it gave me a hug. And the lengua tacos were very tender and well-seasoned however the ceviche was the best dish that I enjoyed. If you're looking for a nice and cozy place with unpretentious service and incredible food, Acajutla hits the spot. read more

Finally got to try this place out yesterday for lunch with my mom and we both loved it! After Latinos shut down we thought we should give the restaurant a try and I'm so glad we did. Around 2:00pm on a Friday we were the only ones there so it doesn't seem too busy. Theyre on skip the dishes I believe so I'm assuming most of their costumers are through that. The waitress was attentive and helped us out with choices. We started with chicken flautas which were a perfect appetizer size for two. Crispy, warm - just really quite good. I ended up ordering the beef soup and my mom ordered their tacos. The soup was awesome and I would definitely recommend it. I'm never one to get soup at a restaurant but it fills you up and tastes like something from home - it actually reminded me of a Croatian stew. Afterwards we tried the horchatas and their fried plantains. The horchatas were different than any others I've had - they were far less sweet and thick but really good regardless. The fried plantains, also different from some I've had was also just as good and had me scraping at anything left in the bowl. Overall good experience and great authentic salvadorian/mexican food! read more

I want to preface this review by saying I have zero tolerance for spicy food... standard hot wings from a pub are usually too much for me... it's pretty pathetic actually. And when I eat spicy food, I get hot and sweaty and generally unpleasant. With that out of the way, I'll get to my experience. The restaurant is very bright, vibrant and welcoming. I wouldn't say the food was slow to come out, but being a small kitchen it takes a little longer than your average chain restaurant and I'm perfectly fine with that. Our server was nice and attentive and helped me decide on a dish. I went with the Chicken Escabeche, which was three chicken thighs with peppers and onions and chimol on the side, which is kind of a salsa/salad with tomatoes, green peppers, jalapenos and cilantro. Our server asked if I wanted the chicken spicy or medium and because of my aforementioned weakness for anything that is spicy, I didn't hesitate in choosing the medium option. Thankfully, the chicken wasn't overly spicy. It warmed me up a little bit, like a hot toddy after a long day of snowboarding, but nothing to complain about. Then I tried the chimol -- an innocent looking mix that was anything but. It was a raging inferno disguised as a cute little salad. After a large bite, my eyes started to water, my sinuses instantly cleared up and I started sweating... I actually wanted to go home and shower. Now mind you, my wife and friend, who both have much higher tolerances to spicy food, didn't have these same symptoms, but did say that is was probably too hot for them to enjoy. And I understand that since Acajutla is known for being very authentic, this is probably the way this dish is meant to be served, so that's cool. But it was way too much for my unaccustomed tastes. We also had three pupusas - bean, pork and mixed. They were all pretty tasty and I would recommend them as a small appetizer. Overall, the experience was great. If my mouth and lips didn't feel like a flaming upside down police car on streets of Vancouver after a Game 7 Stanley Cup Final loss, I probably would have given it a five. read more

Acajutla is one of my top 5 favourite restaurants in Edmonton. We've been coming here for years, probably once a month. Let me break it down for you: Decor/Atmosphere: 2 out of 5 stars Service: 2 out of 5 stars But the food! 5 out of 5 stars The decor is fine, but nothing noteworthy. They play fun, well-themed music, and it *is* clean, so that's good. The service is sporadic. Sometimes it's fine. Other times you have to wait a long time to place your order, or get your drinks, or get your food, or the bill. The servers are not overly friendly, but not unfriendly. The food though (some of it), it's amazing, and this is why we come so often. Not ALL the food though, only specific items, and I think I have tried almost the entire menu. ** The number one reason to go to Acajutla is to eat their MIXED PUPUSA ** It's crazy delicious. You top it with the red hot sauce (not very hot), the green avocado sauce (kinda hot), and a heaping pile of the (pickled?) cabbage they bring. It's glorious. Many times we come and that's all we eat. 4 mixed pupusas and that's all you need. Usually we get 2 or 3 mixed pupusas each and share the Mexican enchiladas which are also very good. Other than these two items, the rest of the menu isn't all that exciting to me. Our friends' favourites are the burrito and the mixed plate though, so, you might want to try those. Go to Acajutla, ignore the decor and the service, eat the mixed pupusas, and you will become a fan. read more

OK, I lied. I decided to give this place another try. In all honesty, I drove by Acajutla to go to another Mexican restaurant but I found that one to be closed. So, last time I came here, the soup was good enough to allow me to convince myself that I may have ordered the wrong entree. Here we go again. I ordered the Tortilla soup again. It was even better this time. This stuff is delicious. It really isn't worth $6.99 but what bowl of soup can be. I must admit, this is as close to being worth it as you get. It has a little feta, cilantro, avocado, onion and chunks of chicken in a slightly spicy broth. This is a must for any new customer. I'm sure it will hook you. I decided to have the Combonation plate and a side of re-fried beans. The combo had a beef taco, chicken fajita, chicken tostada and a deep fried thing with potatoes and pork in it called a pastel. Kind of like a really big perogy that was deep fried. The chicken tostada was delicious. With re-fried beans, chicken, lettuce, cheese and egg it was definitely the best thing on the plate. The crisp taco on the bottom made it almost impossible to eat but the flavor kept me trying. The beef taco was chunks of steak and onion on a soft shell. It was good, but plain. I was impressed that it was actual chunks of steak instead of ground beef. I added some Pico de Galo and dipped it in my beans and it made it pretty good. The chicken fajita was ok but I could have done with out the pastel. It didn't taste terrible but for as bland as it was, I'm not sure my cholesterol spike was worth it. I don't know what the spicy vinegar cabbage is called but it seemed to be "Mexican cold slaw" if there is such a thing. It was quite nice. I enjoyed it so much that I have tried to duplicate it at home, with out any luck I might add. The plate didn't come with re fried beans so I ordered a side. They looked like paste, but they were very good. I like the beans to be baked a little and with melted cheese and these were neither. All in all, this place was ok. If I'm in the area I will probably try it again. read more

A comfortable place. Family-friendly. Authentic cuisine. Affordable. Polite staff. There to explain everything on the menu for those unfamiliar with El Salvadoran food. Options for people who do not eat spicy food and those who do. Highly recommend the Pupusas. read more

Authenticity is the selling point here. The food is fine if you like Mexican and most people do. For me it seems like the sort of place you visit because you are interested in a new experience but then don't return for any particularly great aspect of it. Appeal for a themed restaurant like this lies in the sense of adventure it can give you, unfortunately I don't feel they have entirely succeeded at this. Decorations and settings are plain and seemed to lack effort, from this I didn't get the impression that they put all that much better into the sourcing of ingredients or the preparation of the food. There are a few colourful murals on several of the walls that liven the place up and there were colourful hanging piñatas when I was there, basically everything you would expect to see in a styled restaurant of this theme. T-shirts were de rigueur. Serving staff are pleasant but don't really seem overly engaged in maximizing your enjoyment. They don't help you pronounce the dishes they speak that accent all the time anyway (and no repeating a word twice isn't the same as helping me learn to pronounce it). I could ask about something and get no additional recommendations, further explanation or engagement beyond what is already on the menu. Serving sizes are smaller than average and the low prices are a reflection of this. They have a nice selection of Mexican branded soda which you may not have tried. Nothing really stand out on the menu and you may end up ordering taco or a burrito which may not seem entirely adventurous. Drop in for a weekday lunch with friends, but maybe avoid taking company you actually want to impress. read more

I visited this place with a Salvadorian friend. Its a simple family owned diner...wouldnt really call it a restaurant. The food itself is amazing! I had the tamarindo to drink. I havent had the taste of real tamarind in years! The other drink options although I cant remember the names were good. Tropical punch style drinks...non-alcoholic though! I had a pupusa which is like a stuffed pita pocket with pork, beans and veggies. Also had a tamale which is stuff corn bread kinda mix steam cooked while wrapped in a banana leaf. Both were excellent. A bit pricey I thought but they both are labourious to make from what I heard. For mains I had the combination platter as some other did on this forum. The spicy homemade sausages were really good. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. read more

After driving past this place numerous times (and recently developing a fixation with all things Spanish), I finally decided to give it a go. My friend and I went on a Friday night. I got there a few minutes earlier, and was immediately greeted by a friendly, French-accented waitress. The interior had that quaint and cozy atmosphere typical of family-run restaurants, and was tastefully decorated with a few Mexican-Salvadorean-themed decorations, and a painting on the back wall. There was only one other table, occupied by a large family. I asked what she recommended to drink, and they do have some interesting looking fruit-based drinks. The one she recommended included peanuts and milk, which I will probably try next time. I settled on a pineapple margarita. It was tasty, but pretty typical- identical to what I've had at Julio's Barrio. My co-diner and I started with the chicken tamales. Neither one of us had any idea what to expect. They arrived wrapped in a leaf, appearing to have been steamed- and consisted of very soft dough, holding a small piece of mildly spiced chicken and a piece of green pepper. I was hoping for more spice, and doused it in hot sauce to compensate. Next, I had a mixed pupusa, which was pretty satisfactory- especially when topped with the cabbage slaw and yet more hot sauce! My co-diner was dissatisfied with the lack of veggies in his quesadillas. I felt the same way. The food was filling, but rather boring. 3 Stars for the service and décor- 1 star for the food. If you're looking for spicy, exciting Latin/Spanish flavors, check out El Rancho on 118th Avenue. read more

I can't say that I am a mexican food expert. I've been to Mexico, I've eaten Taco Bell, that's about it for me. But I started going to Acaljutla at the request of an old friend, and I really fell in love with it. I fell in love with it even more when I took a new friend (who moved here from Mexico) to it and she couldn't get over how much it was "like home." The place is in a shifty part of the city, on 107th Ave. I've witnessed more than a few homeless guys getting tossed into the police van while sitting there, eating my dinner. But when it comes to food, I'm one who goes for more of a tasting-experience over all else, so I remain undeterred. The restaurant is a shabby little place with colorful decorations tacked up all over the walls. It is family owned and while the service isn't exactly bursting with cheerfulness, they are efficient and know what they're doing. The food is cheaply priced but wonderful and authentic. The menu is rather large and there are lots of new things to try. When you walk in and get settled, you kind of feel like you're eating in someone's home. That kind of care and love for the food goes into your meal. If you are seeking an authentic, different meal with no frills and satisfaction, definitely try out Acaljutla. Definitely great for the long winter months when all you need is a little vacation - if you can't go to Mexico, bring Mexico to you! read more

Love this place and always will pupusas we're delicious the beef soup was on point. I never have anything bad to say about this place always good. I'll deff come back many more times in the future. read more

Chorizo Tacos, Ceviche and Pupusas Continuing with one of my all time favorite foods, tacos, we went to Acajutla. This restaurant boasts El Salvadorian and Mexican cuisine and overall does it alright. Tacos came in 3, served on corn tortillas with onions, cilantro and avocado. I had the chorizo (that is typically never moist), had some kick to it but the rest of the ingredients like the veggies were so-so. Ceviche had diced tilapia, in lime juice and chimol had a pretty decent tase. Definitely tasted better than the tacos for sure. Main reason we came here though were the pupusas. Traditional Salvadoran pupusas made with corn flour and stuffed with cheese and pork. I thought the flavor was ok, but wish there were more filling. There might be some standard value for the tacos here, but the pupusas being 4 bucks each is kinda pushing it. Also running out of chicken was kind of weird. Friday night seems like a primetime to have chicken y'know? Located on 107th ave and 113st, this small restaurant has some charm. Although the service was lacking as I had to get up from my seat to get someone's attention, place was a decent enough place to try if you're in the neighborhood. Sal says: Just Try It (3/5) Jen says: Pupusas are tasty and very satisfying. Mixing cheese, beans, and pork are the way to go. Ceviche is light and fresh. Running out of chicken was odd. Bal says: It's a cute little restaurant. I love the pupusas. I really enjoyed the Chile con carne dish as well. read more

We place an emphasis on food and service and both of these were lacking... big time. Atmosphere isn't a huge priority for us but even this was underwhelming. Horrible service, so-so food... definitely not worth the money. read more

the mixed pupusas here are my favorite in the city. NO ONE else comes close in my opinion!! the only thing i dont like eating here, is the smell from the bathrooms. but just ask for a seat far away and you will be fine! read more

Fresh, healthy ingredients. The food tastes good. It just feels better to eat at a clean, family run place like this. Reasonable prices. The margarita was tasty too. Will definitely go back. read more

Warm, nicely decorated restaurant with an authentic El Salvadoran ambience. I went there with my girlfriend and her little boy on a Sunday afternoon (they open at noon on Sundays). After ordering, we waited quite a long time for our food to come out---more than half an hour (!), but the food was good. I ordered pork pupusas, corn tamale filled with chicken, and plantain with sour cream. For drink, I ordered a glass of Horchata. In addition to the long wait time, I thought the plantain with sour cream was way overpriced. The dish was just one plantain, simply pan-fried and sliced with nothing added, and served with sour cream. $7.00? If I had known the dish was going to be so small, I wouldn't have ordered it. For seven dollars, I could have ordered two more tamales instead. Comparing this restaurant to Mamenche's, which I went to a few weeks ago, I prefer Mamenche. read more

The last time I went is the last time I'll go Waited for 45 minutes at my table and never got served. Can't comment on the food because I never got any. To be fair, I enjoyed them in the past when they were on 97 St. read more

I've been coming here once or twice a month for somewhere between 10 and 20 years, and it hasn't changed too much. The pupusas are still delicious, as is everything else I've tried on the menu. I mostly order pupusas and the huevos rancheros, but you can't go wrong with any of the dishes at this place. read more

Long before I moved to E-town I visited and my host brought me to this little restaurant. It was cute, simple and felt very traditional, colourful and festive. They serve up authentic Mexican and Salvadorean food. I had papusas, which are like dough patties filled with ground meat, cheese, shredded cabbage, spices and hot sauce. It may seem a little plain, but it's absolutely delicious, hardy and filling. I used to get them at an El Salvadorean pavilion in Toronto's Kensington market, so this stirred up a bit of nostalgia. These are the kind of places you know about when you wear your home town like an old, worn glove. You find the places that are comfortable and have character. Those little businesses that could because they offer a unique experience amid all of the umbrella owned restaurants that parade as unique, small outfits. If you want to see what Mexico or El Salvador is like before you make the trip, come here and find out what the people and culture off-the-resort can offer. read more

Acajutla - Amazing papusas. - Mexican Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I took a Spanish class in school, so I had this menu down pat. Yes, I love mexican food and Acajutla appeared to bring that with a El Salvadorean influence to the menu as well. It was decently busy but snared a reservation pretty quickly. I take pride in my ability to eat anything whether I like it or not and I struggled with that on this day. The first course was the beef soup. It tasted good but they ran out of tripe earlier in the day and replaced it with more beef tendon. One issue with this dish; is that it smelled terrible enough I couldn't finish. We ordered: ceviche, pupusas, tamales, enchiladas, carne asada steak and sausages. Ceviche was refreshing but I should've asked what kind of fish it was because it had an oiliness to it. Pupusas came with an awesome cabbage slaw. We got the mixed plate and they were great little pockets of meat and cheese. Definitely worth a try. Tamales and Enchiladas were forgettable. Both were painfully dry and the enchiladas were probably the worst I've ever had. The steak was requested medium and it definitely probably was medium but you probably couldn't tell because it was just gristle. The sausage were nice and earthy but small. The beans and rice were definitely something I could stand behind. At Acajutla, I failed to find anything that stood out despite suggestions from friends and the waitress but I will definitely give it another shot because there were things on the menu that I wanted to explore. The decor and lighting was plain in a run down way but the flourishes of color around the dining room gave it a distinct South American feel. read more

Being located in the not so glamorous part of our city, Acajutla is a restaurant worth visiting. Both times I visited Acajutla, I had a dining companion as I wouldn't risk visiting the area where this restaurant is located alone. Acajutla serves Mexican and Salvadorian cuisine which is definitely a huge step beyond Taco Bell and Taco Del Mar. The food is authentic and flavorful. The restaurant itself is small, with rather simple yet festive décor. The menu isn't very long but sufficient enough. I have tried Chicken Escabeche which consists of marinated chicken thighs served with bell and jalapeno peppers, onions, refried beans and tortillas; and a combination plate which has pastel, taco, fajita and tostada all topped with salsa and cabbage salad. To say that these meals were good would be oversimplifying it! They were savory and fulfilling yet didn't make my stomach feel heavy as sometimes happens when I eat Mexican food. Acajutla is a cozy restaurant that feels homey. Chefs put their hearts into the food they prepare. And these two facts result in a pleasant dining experience for those of us who decide to come to Acajutla. read more

Acajutla - Mexican Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Amazing papusas! Tacos are good to great. Highly recommend. Odd hours so call in advance to ensure their open. Go!!!

The only reason this place gets 4 stars is because of the food, if it were for service it would be a -1 star. The waitresses don't give a damn about the customers, its incredibly evident. They are slow to serve you and not at all friendly. However, the food is superb. the pupusas were out of this world amazing, especially with the cabbage slaw and avocado cream you put on them I would rather get take out then dine in because of the haughty attitudes. read more

Food was good. Recommend papusa. Burrito was really good too. Margarita was really way too sweet - would not recommend. The server was not friendly nor professional, that's why I had to only give two stars. Sadly, I think I would want to try other restaurants before coming back. read more

For my first time at acajutla I am very impressed with the quality of the food. I tried the tortilla soup (a bit over priced in my mind) but very tasty, and the Mexican enchilada, the chicken was cooked to perfection and I really like the cheese factor. I gave four stars as an all around experience, the service was good and the decor reminded me of my only trip to Mexico. I'll def. go back again very soon! read more
